A Guide to Using TV and Social Media on the Internet to Promote Your Business or Organization
In order to be successful in today’s marketplace, a business must be Internet savvy—spreading its brand identity across the web in multiple ways. To be effective, the business must be able to succinctly describe the uniqueness of its product and determine the targeted audience for it. A new generation of low-cost marketing tools like blogs, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube are now a superior way to tell your company’s story to a global audience.
From a simple blog updated regularly to a full Internet television station, the options for growing a business over the Internet have never been greater. Most of these distribution options are very low cost or even free. Savings from outmoded forms of marketing and trade shows can result in even lower costs with far greater results.
There are no precise formulas for success, and each company must design a specific narrative and marketing plan tailored to its individual attributes. We help businesses combine the best of the written word with audio, video, and still photography to produce compelling stories that speak to their chosen audience. If such multimedia marketing is done effectively, results will be achieved in a matter of months.
Our clients have included NBC, Warner Music Group, Sony, Panasonic, Mindport Communications, Snell & Wilcox, Authentium, Next Level Communications, Ameritech, Pixelmetrix, AMG Media and General Instrument, as well as individual musicians, photographers and other individuals who effectively use the Internet to sell their products.
